RETAIL & STOREFRONT MATTING
Running 5 stores or 500, your customers expect the same experience at every location. That includes the floor they walk on.
Uncle Mats works with multi-location retailers, franchise groups, and national chains to provide:
Consistent branding: Same logo mat design, same colors, same quality at every entrance — no matter the location
Volume pricing: The more locations you outfit, the better your per-mat cost. We build pricing tiers that make sense for your rollout schedule.
Coordinated shipping: Ship to one central warehouse or drop-ship directly to each location. We handle the logistics.
Replacement programs: Set up automatic reorder schedules for restroom mats, seasonal entrance mats, or worn-out replacements — so your managers don't have to think about it.
Single point of contact: One account, one relationship, one expert who knows your stores. No calling different vendors for different locations.
A regional specialty retailer operating 12 locations across three states had no consistent matting program. Each store manager ordered their own mats from different vendors — different brands, different colors, different quality. Entrance mats ranged from consumer doormats to industrial rubber. Cashiers at some locations had anti-fatigue mats; at others, they stood on bare concrete. Restroom mats were replaced inconsistently.
Their operations VP came to Uncle Mats to create a standardized program:
- Main Entrances (12 locations): WaterHog Impressions HD logo mats (4'×6') — same branded entrance at every store
- Mall/Side Entrances (8 locations): WaterHog Diamond in Charcoal — consistent secondary entrance treatment
- Checkout Stations (48 total): Cushion Max anti-fatigue mats — lightweight, easy to clean, budget-friendly across all registers
- Service Counters (12): Hog Heaven Fashion in Navy — matches brand colors, provides all-day comfort
- Stockrooms (12): Hog Heaven mats — industrial durability for receiving and inventory areas
- Customer Restrooms (24): CleanShield Universal mats on 30-day automatic replacement schedule
Total investment: Under $8,500 for all 12 locations. The operations VP reported consistent brand presentation across all stores for the first time, cashier complaints about foot fatigue dropped significantly, and the automatic restroom mat replacement eliminated a recurring management headache.
For stores that want branding at the entrance, WaterHog Impressions HD displays your logo in high-definition on the industry's toughest mat. For boutiques and design-focused stores, WaterHog Herringbone offers a fashion-forward look. For budget-conscious locations, Classic Impressions provides logo printing at a lower price point. The key is sizing — at minimum, a 4'×6' mat at the main entrance. Learn about the 3-Zone System →
Absolutely. We'll create a free digital mockup with your exact logo and brand colors. For multi-location chains, we ensure every location gets identical mats — same design, same colors, same quality. Most logo mats ship within 10–15 business days. Request a logo mat quote →
As a minimum, your entrance mat should be wide enough that customers can't step around it (typically 4–6 feet wide) and long enough to capture 2–3 steps (4–8 feet deep). For stores with high traffic or weather exposure, follow the 15-foot rule with a full 3-zone system. Learn more →
Hog Heaven Fashion is the most popular choice for customer-facing checkout areas — designer colors blend with store design while providing genuine comfort. Cushion Max is a budget-friendly option for stores with many checkout lanes. Cushion Complete offers antimicrobial treatment and custom lengths up to 75 feet for long service counters.

Significantly. Proper entrance matting captures up to 90% of tracked-in dirt and moisture before it reaches your sales floor. Stores using a proper entrance system typically report 40–65% reductions in floor maintenance costs. The mats pay for themselves in reduced cleaning within the first few months.

Yes — SuperScrape and Brush Hog are built for exterior use and handle outdoor foot traffic, weather, and UV exposure. For temporary outdoor events, these mats can be deployed and retrieved easily. They're also ideal for strip mall entrances exposed to weather.
Yes — most of our entrance mats are NFSI certified for High-Traction under ANSI/NFSI B101.6. This certification matters for retail because customer slip-and-fall claims in stores can cost $30,000–$100,000+. NFSI-certified mats are your documented defense. See our Compliance page →
